In the late 1950s, GM started to feel the need for an individual luxury car to contend with the highly successful Ford Thunderbirda distinctively styled, two-door, four-passenger automobile with a photo of both comfort and efficiency. The design that ended up being the very first Riviera was produced as a Cadillac design, the XP-715. Its designing was reportedly motivated by GM styling Chief Bill Mitchells check out to London throughout the period, when he was struck by the sight of an elegant, custom-bodied Rolls Royce in the fog. He later said that "knife-edged" designing was what he desired for the brand-new design, but with a lower profile and a bit of Ferrari included for efficiency. The design itself was penned by stylist Ned Nickels. I came across this great example of the renowned 1965 Buick Riviera that is in running condition, but has actually not been driven in a long time (it must be totally serviced prior to extended driving to ensure dependability and security and with our recording schedule, were unable to perform any added work on this car-sold as is/where is) the engine fires right to life and (after a brief burnout) a short drive reveals a solid vehicle in relatively initial condition (other than for the dual exhausts going out the side that produce a deep exhaust note) that would gain from some cosmetic TLC. The exterior is in good condition with a surface that is still glossy but revealing its age with proof of some paint work, nicks, scratches and minor deterioration behind the rear wheel openings (see all pictures).
